Title: Chess anyone?
Post by: thetank on March 21, 2006, 09:33:56 PM
I just found out you can play chess on msn.

Anyone up for it?

I'm out of practice but think I can put up a fair challenge.

I believe GameKnot allow free play (amongst others). 

I don't have any direct experience as I haven't played any chess for nearly 20 years.........child prodigy, obviously  :D

Great game.

Yahoo was pisch, the collabarative minds of tightend and myself couldn't figure out how to get on the same table.

Now we're giving gameknot a run. Waiting for confirmation e-mail.

I've played Snoops on yahoo before - just get to an empty or quiet lounge.

Post by: thetank on March 21, 2006, 10:21:50 PM
The lounges my screen said were empty, tightys screen said were full and vice versa

The general feeling after 10 minutees of fannying around was booger this for a game of soldiers

Try pogo.com. They have chess, checkers, backgammon, bridge and all sorts of other games.

I play here quite often to 'wind down' after a poker session.

If there was one game that I would like, it would be RISK.  I have searched and there are a few games similar .  But so far, I haven't found an online RISK game...

Cant do a whole game but if you fancy a "move per X amount of days" game I'm down.

If that's regular Monopoly and not some homo-erotic version then I'm up for that at some point too.

No the now though, gotta start work soon.

The biggest and best chess site on the Internet where all the serious players hang out is the Internet Chess Club  www.chessclub.com

It's $49 a year to be a member but you can have full membership for a week for free to try it out.

www.redhotpawn.com all the way. if you want a game, tank, or anyone, give me a shout. I like to be able to think about a move for a few days, it's a game of skill, not of speed ;)

Alright then, if I can't convince you all to join redhotpawn.. signed up to gameknot, I'm in as moritzey.


Title: Re: Chess anyone?
Post by: moritzey on March 22, 2006, 01:26:16 PM
tank and billy, activate your accounts, just tried to challenge you, but it complains you haven't completed registration yet.. if you want a 3days/move game, challenge me when you've got around to signing up completely.


Title: Re: Chess anyone?
Post by: Sark79 on March 22, 2006, 01:32:51 PM
Hey Moritzey,  do you want a game of real time chess.  rather than this 3 days permove stuff?


Title: Re: Chess anyone?
Post by: Lamm on March 22, 2006, 02:26:11 PM

Post by: thetank on March 22, 2006, 04:29:26 PM
ooo err Gameknot didn't send me any verification e-mails.
Did you get yours Tightend?

I've signed up to Redhotpawn ok now though.

Title: Re: Chess anyone?
Post by: b4matt on March 22, 2006, 04:43:47 PM
aint got no chess on redhotporn.... did i get the right address?


Title: Re: Chess anyone?
Post by: moritzey on March 23, 2006, 01:40:29 AM
Sark: not sure if I can handle real-time chess online, maybe a blitz match if one of the sites supports that? Will definitely give you a live game at the next blonde bash, though, if you want.

Tank: Challenged you on redhotpawn now.

If anyone else fancies a 3-days/move match, I'm in as moritzey on gameknot and 'karlovsky' on redhotpawn.

Post by: Sark79 on March 23, 2006, 01:43:58 AM
Ok, Moritzey.. sounds like a good plan .
